Flowers of Happiness is a light, fresh, and airy floral fragrance with a juicy pear opening and crisp peony notes. It builds into a powdery, musky floral base, with subtle sandalwood and a transparent, airy finish. Overall, it feels more like a high-end green floral than a true extension of La Vie Est Belle, with little resemblance to the original’s gourmand, rich character. The scent is well-suited for spring and summer, particularly during daytime hours, and is ideal for those seeking a soft, inoffensive, and delicate aroma that lingers gently without imposing. The performance is moderate—lasts roughly an hour, with sillage leaning toward intimate to moderate. It is often compared to Chance Eau Tendre, Versace Bright Crystal, or Miss Dior Blooming Bouquet due to its similar fresh, light florals and subtle sweetness. While some find the initial spray slightly synthetic or reminiscent of a salon product, others praise its elegant simplicity, making it perfect for weddings, office wear, or warm-weather days. It appeals most to those who prefer clean, airy, garden-like scents over heavy, sweet, or rich perfumes.
